"Quite clearly, some people's attitudes towards tribal peoples
haven't moved on a jot. The Jarawa are not circus ponies bound to
dance at anyone's bidding," said Stephen Corry, the group's
director, in a press release.

In June last year, Survival International accused eight Indian
travel companies of running "human safari tours" so tourists could
see and photograph the Jarawa.

The London-based lobby group called for tourists to boycott the
road used to enter the reserve of the Jarawa tribe, who number just
403 and are in danger of dying out.

The Andaman and Nicobar tropical island chain is home to four
other rare tribes -- Onge, the Great Andamanese, the Sentinelese
and the Shompens, each numbering fewer than 350 members.

Another tribe called Bo died out in January 2010.

The Andaman police downplayed the video, calling it "old" and
blamed the British journalist for forcing the Jarawas to dance for
the tourists.

"It is obvious that it is the videographer who is breaking the
law of the land and who is inciting the tribals to dance," senior
Andaman policeman S.B. Deol said in a statement.
